Yesterday I caught some of Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s Covid briefing and news conference. He reviewed progress on vaccination, emphasizing that we are at a critical phase in combatting the disease and that it was no time to let our guard down. Northam also pointed out that 500,000 Virginians have been diagnosed with Covid-19 (he is one of them), and an estimated 500,000 have had the disease and did not know it. This is out of a population of about 8.5 million. On the relative merits of...

@lurker: I think if Obama had nominated a Scalia clone – a demonstrable, rock-solid, 40-year-old crazy ass conservative Scalia clone – they would have pocketed the win and moved on.  “Thanks, Barack!”  Never would have happened but still, sure they would have taken that.  Why not?

I’m sure it was supposed t...

2.2% positivity 40% available hospital beds, 35% available ICU beds After I read Central Planning’s post about getting vaccination appointments for her parents in Monroe County I went looking for the website. I tried for one of the two remaining appointments on 3/28 but by the time I answered all the questions the appointments were gone. I started the process all over and they had opened up a whole bunch of times on April 2nd so I did manage to get a spot that day. Then I texted one of my co-...
